Zechariah Part 4

Zechariah 3 gives us prophetic visions of the past and the future. It also raises a few questions and shows us when Zechariah began his ministry. And, we will yet again see a direct connection with the Book of Revelation, as well as a few interesting translation errors.

We will see one of the few conditional prophecies, as well as phrases that are hard to pin down. Timing is everything, and there are a couple of phrases here that I bet have tripped up many people.

Oh, and the unfulfilled prophecies database has a new home.

Zechariah Part 3

Zechariah 2 is yet another difficult chapter in two parts. The first is a prophecy of how big Jerusalem will be and that God will be a wall of fire around her and that He will be the glory in the midst of the city.

The second part speaks of God calling the people of Israel from the North, to the Land of Israel. Furthermore, He also speaks of being in their midst and many nations joining themselves to them.

The question is…

Has any of this happened yet?

Let’s see if we can answer that.

Zechariah – A Biblical Overview, Chapter 1 – Part 2

Zechariah is the second-to-last prophet in the Hebrew Scriptures, and he is the last prophet to be murdered by Israel. And, when you read the Book of Malachi, you can see why Zechariah was murdered. Malachi also shows us that the prophecies of Zechariah are not for Second Temple Israel.

Even though Zechariah also speaks about his present day, the prophecies about the Last Days are the most powerful. When we get to the last chapter, there won’t be any confusion over whether he is a prophet of the Last Days. However, we have yet to start with Chapter 1.

So, let’s do that.

Important Note For Those With CLL

DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor. Nor am I giving medical advice. All that I am doing is relating my personal experience with a specific supplement that you can buy over the counter.

As you know, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) about three and a half years ago. My White Blood Cell Count (WBC) started out at 30 thousand and steadily climbed about five thousand a month, with one relapse, until I got to about 70 thousand last year. From there, my CLL accelerated to 151 thousand a month ago. My platelet counts were crashing. My spleen was enlarged. It seemed that I was on the fast track towards chemotherapy.

Zechariah – A Biblical Overview, Part 1

The books of Daniel and Zechariah fit closely with the Book of Revelation. Other prophets like Isaiah have much to say about Armageddon, the Millennium and even the Great Tribulation. But, Daniel and Zechariah have a specific focus that we should pay attention to, if we wish to understand the events of Revelation more clearly.

Furthermore, there are some descriptions in Zechariah that will change how you will think about key parts of Revelation.

As always, we will have more questions than answers, but we will do our very best to stick to what God actually says, instead of what we want Him to say.

The Unfulfilled Prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures

Hey, I got Covid. And, it wasn’t very fun. Then, I got one of those nice big sinus-splitting, lung-filling bacterial infections. And, I’m not sure that the second infection waited for Covid to finish. And, I have no idea where I got any of that.

The good news is that it didn’t keep me from publishing the First Draft of the website where I will be hosting the unfulfilled prophecies spoken by God to the prophets of the Hebrew Scriptures. The site still needs work, but the core of it is up, running, and usable.

Jacob, The Prodigal Son?

I have spent time – probably too much time – discussing eschatology with every form of eschatology that is out there, and one thing has become clear:

Everyone claims that the children of Jacob need to be punished.

The Jews have suffered unspeakable persecution and suffering for two thousand years, yet most Christians believe that this isn’t enough. Most say that the Great Tribulation is the punishment of Israel. A few claim that they are tossed into the Millennium, while we rule over them. Others say that the Jews had their chance, and they don’t get a second one.

I am appalled at this.

A Prophecy Database

I have been working on a project for a few months that categorizes all the prophecies spoken by God through the prophets. The initial stage of this project is complete, and I am now getting ready to take a section of this database public.

I have been working against the clock on this, due to my uncertainty over how my Leukemia will progress. Praise God that this burden has been lifted from my shoulders, so I feel like I will be able to finish all phases of this project.

Details below.

Dear Infidels: A Warning to America

This brought back memories that I didn’t really want to relive. Like how you can tell the difference between a bomb and a sonic boom. When you hear three ambulance sirens, that it’s a terrorist attack. What an Apache helicopter sounds like, when it’s hovering over your apartment. Or when you are sitting in bed while the Tanzim militia are shooting up your neighborhood.

That was the Second Intifada, and the West isn’t ready for when it begins in Europe and then starts burning down the United States. And yes, that is exactly what’s going to happen, unless something changes.

Things I Got Wrong – Mea Culpa

We all get things wrong. All of us. The question is whether we will admit our errors. And, I can’t remember when a pastor or Bible teacher ever admitted an error. Maybe my memory is bad, but I have no memory of that ever happening.

That’s wrong.

Why?

Because it is literally impossible for a pastor or Bible teacher to never be wrong. And, it’s the number one reason why we must all be experts in the Word of God, so that we can challenge error in our teachers and pastors.

So, let’s talk about a few of my own errors.
